Yesterday we talked about vegetarian vs. vegan. Today we'll take it one step further: whole food plant based.
Whereas vegan might use processed foods, such as vegetarian "meat" products, or other highly processed foods, a person who eats a whole food plant based diet, tends to eat food in as natural a state as possible, and tend to cook mostly "from scratch."
You don't have to eat just salads, either! But, yeah, I eat vegetables and fruits in as natural a state as possible. I eat a variety of beans. We eat a lot of potatoes, and quite a bit of tofu.
When you stop and think about it, God's original diet, for humans and animals, was a plant based diet. "And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so." Genesis 1:29, 30, KJV. This is the main reason I prefer eating a whole food plant based diet now.
For inspiration, I like to watch other whole food plant based promoters on YouTube.
These last two talk not only about the whole food plant based diet, but also talk about whole health and natural remedies.
Have you ever tried a whole food plant based diet? Do you see benefits of it?
